Tracee, 16" x 12", oil on linen

Tracee is a fine arts graduate who's been coming to the club since last winter, after she got a word about us from Marcie.

Painting Tracee, I wanted to express a sense of confidence and vibrancy that we know in her personality. For that purpose, I painted the drapery, using a large brush, with intense cadmium red rather than the muted red drapery set in the background.

Also, I painted the brilliant small highlights as they appeared; in her eye, lower eyelid, bridge of the nose and lower lip.
